    There is no "industry"

    You are wrong! (couldn’t resist :)) I agree totally! Thanks for your concern and content. Looking forward to a fruitful dialogue!

    Light 14 or 16" narrow kerf bar for 200t or 201t

    Sprockets are independent of the gauge. They have to match pitch: either 1/4 (never seen one on a 200/201) or 3/8. You will be happy with a 16” in either 0.043 or 0.050 gauge if it has any cojones. Otherwise, go with the stock 14”.

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    This statement is key! What works for you is what works! I appreciate many of the suggestions folks have made, but at the end of the day, practice and consistency will be what serves you best. Thanks for this thread!

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Do you adjust the length of what is hanging for the height? If you are targeting a 30 ft height, you should have less line below your hand than for a 50 ft shot. Varying the pendulum length can make a big difference in accuracy.

    New pads for spurs?

    Late to the game on this one. Stein/Climb Right make an aluminum pad with replaceable velcro inserts. They cost a little more, but are super durable and make old steel bucs “feel” light. I have a set on Bashlins, and other climbers who pick them up always do a double take at how light they are...

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    This is the worst case scenario for me, but it still pulls and rides well if I take my time. (No, people don’t really have to wait on me.)

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    I do. My setup is a 2001 F350 regular cab SRW manual, with 4.30 gears and a V10. The low gearing really helps in our mountainous terrain. It is a bit of a weeble-wobble with a full load of chips, but I usually dump nearby and take it easy getting there. The only reason the box is that high is...

    I’ll take 1 pair of Kleins with the best spurs, and 1 pair of bucs with good life, if still available.

    I can assure you these guys are the real deal. Great people, equipment, and work. I’m sure most (if not all) of these folks will be at Arborfest in Asheville this weekend. Hit them up! They’re a great outfit!

    Buckeye hinging

    I don’t recall dealing with a frozen buckeye, but I felled around 20 on my property a couple of years ago and they hinged well. Thickening the hinge is probably unnecessary. When you do that, a lot of your effort goes into bending the tree. I bet you’ll be fine setting the hinge at 10% and...

    Battery ground saws

    I’ve shared my dislike for the overpriced STIHL 300 here on the TB before. However, the more I run the 220 rear handle, the more I like it as a brush and chipper saw. My son likes the 220T, but admits it is heavy and awkward. I’ve heard great things about all the Milwaukee saws, but have yet...

    Kubota SCL1000

    I have around 100 hours operating one of these. They are stout for their size, but riddled with computer problems. Also, grapple flow seems to be all or nothing, so it’s hard to finesse that control without powering down. I still think it’s a good machine, but I wouldn’t get one without a...

    How to Get Power from a Pulley

    Another aspect to consider is the definition of a vector: A quantity with magnitude and direction. Force is a vector quantity. Pulling a rope around a pulley doesn’t change the magnitude, but it does alter the direction. If the change in direction is 180 degrees, you go from +1 to -1 for the...
